As promised, I am sharing with you today a card box to hold the cards I posted yesterday or any cards you create and want to give as a gift.

It really is only made out of one full sheet of Smoky Slate cardstock (131202) and a small piece of Island Indigo cardstock (122923). Thanks to friend, Julie Davison, for sharing the dimensions of the box!

The video below goes over the dimensions and steps on how to create the card box. Be sure to watch it to learn how!

I am going to go over how the box was decorated!

The Island Indigo top flap is embossed using the Chevron Embossing Folder (127749) with a piece of Crushed Curry cardstock (131199) adhered on the edge.

I punched out two circles using the 1/2" Circle Punch (119869) and placed one on the flap and one on the box using the new Neutral Candy Dots (130934)and Brad Bases (132293). These are SO much fun to play with. I will have a video later in the week showing you how to use these fun Candy Dots but they are really used like a brad and one of our rhinestones :) I then used our Whisper White Baker's Twine (124262) to wrap around the clasps and tied in a bow.

The fun label is made using the Label Love Bundle (132722), the bundle saves you 15% when you order the Label Love stamp set (130622) and the Artisan Label Punch (130920) together. I stamped the "Just for You" label in Island Indigo Classic Ink (126986) on to Whisper White cardstock (100730) before punching it out. Then I took a 1/2" strip of Crushed Curry cardstock (131199) and lined it up to stamp the greeting in Jet Black Stazon (101406).

I am sharing with you today the last project using the Tape It stamp set (130715) for the Stampin' Success article. These paper flowers are so pretty and you will be shocked how easy they are to create after you watch the below video I have done for you!

The center of the flower has a circle punched out using the 1/2" Circle Punch (119869) and Crumb Cake cardstock (120953). The flower is one of our In Color Dahia's (127556). I stuck it to the flower with two Stampin' Dimensionals (104430) placed on top of each other.

After my last month's Team Gathering, I had a special Diva event. We created special projects, gave them special gifts and treated them to a fabulous dinner on ME!! I love to spoil people and these are some of my favorite people to spoil!

To become a Diva this last quarter, they had to promote to a new title from December - April. I am happy to say that I had 9 downline members promote and get to spend this special Diva event with me!

This is one of the many gifts they received from me:

I used our new Tag a Box Bundle (131372) for this gift for my Diva's. Here is what comes in the bundle:

You get:

10 Large Base Tags

2 Colors of Baker's Twine (20' each)

40 Stampin' Dimensionals

10 Medium Builder Tags

10 Mini Clothespins

5 Smoky Slate self-adhesive strips (I used the scraps too!)

These boxes are super easy to put together and then you can have fun with accessorizing them! I can't wait to try the bags too! Inside my boxes were a few exclusive items just for demonstrators to order or receive from Memento Mall and also a Clear Block Cleaning Cloth (121779) which I swear by! It helps my stamps stick to my blocks SO well! I clean my blocks before putting any stamp on and it works!

The tag is a tag from the bundle and I used a demo only stamp set we received at Convention 2 years ago. But you could use any stamp on your tag!

The little clothes pins come with the bundle and are just the cutest things!

If you have any interest in joining my team of demonstrators, be sure to CLICK HERE to find out more! I'd love to have you join my team...local or long distant!

Thanks for stopping by and have a great Thursday!

I am not really good at origami things but this tie I came across was one I could do after trying it a couple of times! Try it with just regular paper first before using all your wonderful Designer Series Paper up practicing!

The Parker's Patterns Designer Series Paper (131021) is a GREAT paper for masculine projects especially with Father's Day around the corner. This paper is located in the Spring Catalog and ONLY AVAILABLE THRU MAY 31st! Which is this Friday! So be sure to click HERE to get this great paper TODAY!!!

I used the Woodgrain Background Stamp (117100) to get the woodgrain image on the retiring Not Quite Navy card stock using the Not Quite Navy Classic Ink (126971). The Not Quite Navy "everything" will also no longer be available after June 3rd so be sure to go HERE at my online store to stock up now! The Not Quite Navy card stock is sold out but you can still get a few sheets of it by ordering the Regals Card Stock Collection (119705).

The base of the card and the 1 3/4" Circle Punch (119850) is Cherry Cobbler card stock (119685) which is a favorite of mine. The Father's Day greeting is from the Delightful Dozen Stamp Set (122650), stamped on Crumb Cake card stock (120953) using Early Espresso Ink (126974) and punched out using the Decorative Label Punch (120907). Then topped off with a Naturals Designer Button (127554).

The Delightful Dozen Stamp Set (126974) is a great stamp set for many different occasions. Here are the images of the stamp set:

I want to share a video with you of how to make this origami tie. I also give you the website in the video of where I found the instructions on how to make it! It isn't too hard and it looks great on a card! Have fun!

Thanks for stopping by today on this terrific Thursday and I hope you enjoy this card!

I always like to come up with a little 3D project that my team can use for hostess gifts or door prizes during workshops or classes. This team meeting I came up with a way to use our embellishment containers, that we typically throw away, as a little gift giving item.

Here is what is inside this cute container. Really you could put anything that would fit, this is just what I had on hand and wanted to get out of my house before I ate it :)

These paper flowers are so cute and easy! Here is a a video showing you how along with the items I used! Be sure to check out the sneak peek items too!

I hope you enjoy this cute little project and this quick tutorial on how to make these paper flowers!

**I just want to remind you that June 3rd is the last day to order from the retiring lists of items. Here is an updated list for you to look over and then place your orders by clicking HERE at my online store for Stampin' Up! supplies.

I always love to make gifts for my kids' teachers and this year was no different. This past week was Teacher Appreciation Week and these are the gifts I made for each of the kids' teachers.

I used the Fancy Favor Bigz XL Die (115965) to make the box portion of this project. For the flower I used Summer Starfruit card stock (126839) and the Fun Flowers Bigz L Die (121812). I sponged each of the flowers with Summer Starfruit Classic Stampin' Pad (126991) and ran the middle flower through the Big Shot (113439) with the Lacy Brocade Textured Impressions Folder (127819).

Don't forget...the Fancy Favor Bigz Die and the Lacy Brocade Folder are both listed on the Retired Accessories List so get them HERE while you can!

I found the little rose plant at a local grocery store and they fit perfectly into the Fancy Favor box. The little tag is made using the 2 1/2" Circle Punch (120906) and Decorative Label Punch (120907). The little saying on the tag I made is using My Digital Studio and printed out. I love using MDS for things like this and just so you know, you can try the 30 day trial of MDS for FREE...be sure to get it HERE to try for FREE!

The teachers really appreciated their little gift and I am truly thankful for helping my children grow this past year! We moved to a different school this year and it has been a wonderful decision Lauren and Alec!

I hope this is an idea you can use for the end of the year too! They will love it!

You read it write! I made a project today using our Stampin' Up! products but not a bit of stamping!! Let me share...

I made myself a journal using our "Try It" kit from our My Paper Pumpkin monthly subscription. You get two of these brown journals in the trial kit along with other items to decorate your journal really cute! I decided to take one of my journals and decorate it differently than what the kit provides. I needed a little creative mojo and this little journal helped. You can just purchase the Try It Paper Pumpkin kit separately at anytime HERE to see what it is all about with no subscription.

I am using this journal to write down all the great quotes about life I find or hear. I am just starting it and I thought using the This and That product line to help decorate the journal would be great. The stickers are washi tape along the binding is from the This and That product line.

So you'll see there really is NO stamping! Here is what the pages inside look like and some quotes I started to write down.

I also used a little sneak peek item on my journal...can you find it?

So did you find it?!?! Yes, it is that cute little Designer Very Vintage Button which will be available starting on May 31st when our new Annual Catalog goes live for you to order from. As a demonstrator we are able to purchase a few items from the new catalog a month early to try them out.

I hope you try out one of these products! They are two of my favorite and I just can't get enough of them. In case you missed it, here are the places you can purchase the above items from!

Don't forget you will earn Lakeshore Loyalty Rewards when you place an online order with me HERE and you will also receive a new Annual Catalog FREE in the mail to you as well! You won't want to miss getting a catalog...it's amazing!

Thanks for stopping by a little later today! I was computerless last night and my creative juices just weren't flowing last night but I think making this journal has helped!

I really LOVE using My Digital Studio I just seem to only use it when I am not in my crafting area, which isn't very often :)

Every year I make my mother a desktop calendar for her to use at work. In the past it has always been a paper craft calendar and this year I decided to make it a little easier on myself and create one using My Digital Studio.

Here is one of my favorite pages...plus she is going to be 10 in one week so I want to celebrate her a little!

If you don't have My Digital Studio (130646) you can get it HERE at my online store. Stampin' Up! has reduced the price and it's just $19.99 for the download or the disc, your choice. It is both Mac and Windows compatible!

You can also try it FREE for 30 days and see what it is all about HERE. I think you'll like it!

Here is a video showing you each page of the calendar and what it exactly looks like. You can almost touch and feel it :)

Well we returned early Sunday morning from our vacation and I haven't had much time to work on our This and That journal from Spring Break since returning. Lauren woke up Sunday morning with 102 fever and I had her home on Monday while trying to get 5 cards ready for a class yesterday. Whew...I will say I did it and I will share the cards with you later in the week. While on our trip I finished up to Day 4 and I don't think that is too bad. I was hoping to get further but the fun in the sun got in the way :)

Here is our Day 4...

I did have fun doing this while on vacation and I can't wait to complete it. While using this kit I imagined all the other possibilities it has and I can't wait to try more things!

Sorry this is short and sorry I have been MIA lately. While going on vacation is always great the catching up when you return is the hard part of the vacation. I'll get back into the routine and I'll be back seeing you more often soon!

Thanks for stopping by and you can read more about the This and That journal kit HERE! It is a great kit so be sure to get yours today by shopping at my ONLINE STORE.

Have a great day! Off to a field trip with my son's Kindgarten Class today! Should be fun!

Another day in paradise! The weather has been perfect during our stay on the beautiful island of Grand Cayman. I can't believe we are half way done but I will have a journal of memories thanks to our "This and That" memory journal kit!

I think I've done pretty well with the limited supplies I have while makin the journal. Of course it could use a punch or two but the kit has been pretty good to me.

I LOVE all the little details you can add to a memory journal like this. Especially with our Remember This and That Rotary Stamp (130133) the details can be endless!

I have really enjoyed escaping the hot sun mid day to keep up with my This and That journal of our trip. I hope you've enjoyed keeping up with our trip as well and it will inspire you to order the Epic Day This and That Bundle (133350) by April 30th to save 15%...you know you want it!
